PLDT’s wireless unit Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) ignites the school spirit of students from University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) member-schools.
Championing the youth’s passion for sports, Smart launched a T-shirt design contest for students from UAAP member-schools.
“Smart has always provided the youth with a safe space where they can express their uniqueness and creativity. Aligned with this, the competition sought to give the participants the opportunity to express their school pride and support their school’s varsity teams,” said Melvin C. Nubla, FVP and Group Head of Go-to-Market and Subscriber Management at Smart.
The contest was opened to all students of UAAP member-schools in February and ran until July. The winning designers were Janine San Ignacio from Adamson University, Tiffany Chua-Reyes from the Ateneo de Manila University, Cherubim Citco from De La Salle University, Regina Laine Tan from Far Eastern University, Riza Alvarado from National University — Fairview, Arbli M. Go from the University of the East, Mary Glo Garcia from the University of the Philippines, and Joshua Isaac Galvez from the University of Sto. Tomas.
Each winner was awarded P5,000 in cash, including P15,000 worth of shirts bearing his or her artwork. The designer’s school-based organization will also receive the custom-designed Smart shirt. The winning designs were adopted by Smart and will be printed on shirts and given to the school for future activities or as prizes or honoraria. Students can wear their custom-designed Smart school shirt at UAAP games to brandish their school colors.
